Chiropractic
Chiropractors are musculoskeletal experts and can assess, diagnose and treat injuries to various parts of the body including the spine, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, hands, feet, the jaw (TMJ) and headaches. They are specialists in manual adjustment of the vertebrae of the spine and other joints of the body. Adjustment helps relieve pain and restore normal functioning to the joints and supporting muscles and ligaments – so you can enjoy your everyday activities again as quickly as possible.
Your chiropractor will recommend a course of treatment specific to you that may also include mobilization of the joints, acupuncture, ultrasound, muscle release techniques, muscle stimulation, laser therapy and therapeutic exercises. Chiropractors are also trained to provide nutritional counselling, and recommend rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic treatment massage is a specialized therapeutic technique for anyone who has been diagnosed with lymphedema, which is a condition characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid, often resulting from surgery or injury. It focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system through gentle and non-invasive massage techniques that target the lymph nodes and vessels. This plays a crucial role in redirecting excess fluids in the body to help reduce swelling and eliminate inflammation, toxins and waste products.
During a lymphatic treatment massage, a skilled therapist uses light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pressure to encourage the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. By stimulating the lymphatic system, this massage technique helps to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
Lymphatic Treatment Massage consists of:
- Manual lymph drainage (MLD) uses a specialized, gentle and rhythmic massage technique with light, circular movements and gentle pressure to encourage the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. By targeting the lymph nodes and vessels, MLD helps to redirect fluids from edemic/congested/swollen areas to healthy functioning areas of the body along the lymphatic pathways while also boosting circulation. The process begins with diaphragmatic breathing and abdominal massage.
- Compression Therapy uses bandages and/or garments to apply external pressure to aid in alleviating congestion in the affected areas.
- Physical Activity and Exercise are integral components of Lymphatic Therapy. Focus is based on needs, abilities, and interests.
- Hygiene and Healthy Skin Care is recommended to decrease breaks in the skin and prevent bacterial infections from occurring.
- Education to help aid in the maintenance of care with self-directed MLD, compression bandages/garments, home exercises and skin care. Information and support within your area.
Manual Therapy

Massage Therapy
Physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy. Massage is the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using various techniques, to enhance function, aid in the healing process, decrease muscle reflex activity, inhibit motor-neuron excitability,promote relaxation, improve circulation, and, primarily, to optimize health and well-being.
Massage involves working and acting on the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system.
Your Treatment
Before a treatment, your Massage Therapist will propose a personalized treatment plan based on an initial assessment and health history. The assessment consists of various tests to determine the condition of your muscles and joints. Any personal and health information you provide to your Massage Therapist is completely confidential and will be safeguarded. Your health record cannot be released or transferred without your written consent.
Your Massage Therapist must also obtain your consent to work on any part of your body, regardless of whether you are fully clothed, or fully or partially covered with sheets or blankets. Your privacy will always be respected, and you may withdraw your consent for treatment at any time.
Various specialized movements of the hands, over the skin or clothes, make up the Massage Therapy treatment. The Massage Therapist will work with your level of pain tolerance during the treatment, and the treatment can be stopped at any time should the treatment become uncomfortable.
Massage therapy is not covered by OHIP, but many private insurance companies cover treatment from a Massage Therapist as part of their extended healthcare plans. Please consult your policy.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of a particular condition. At our multidisciplinary health clinic, we believe that naturopathic medicine can be an effective complement to traditional medical treatments, helping to promote overall wellness and prevent illness.
Naturopathic medicine is based on the principles of natural healing, using a variety of techniques and therapies to support the body's own healing processes. These may include dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, acupuncture, massage, and other forms of adjunctive therapies.
Our naturopathic practitioners work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique health concerns and goals. We believe in empowering patients to take an active role in their own health and wellness, and we strive to provide the education and support they need to make informed decisions about their care.
Whether you are dealing with a chronic health condition, seeking to improve your overall well-being, proactive in your health and wellness, or simply looking for a more natural approach to healthcare, our naturopathic medicine services can help.

Custom Foot Orthotics
For localized problems such as flat feet, over-pronation, bunions, foot pain or more complex issues of ankle, knee, hip or low back pain - orthotics may help. Custom orthotics are designed to support the structures of your foot that cause pain or abnormal functioning by correcting foot mechanics when you are walking, running, doing weight-bearing exercise and even with standing. Along with custom orthotics, an individualized treatment plan for the affected muscles/tendons including manual therapy and exercise/rehab is key to resolving problems stemming from the feet. Recommendations for orthotics are specific person-to-person and may not benefit all. Please consult with one of our experts to learn more if this is right for you.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a drug free, non-invasive form of manual treatment which focuses on the health of the whole body, rather than just the injured or affected part. Osteopathic treatment aims to affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems by focusing on the joints, muscles, and spine.
Osteopathic intervention can help treat migraines/headaches, arthritis, TMJ, sports injuries, and much more. Contact us today to find out of Osteopathic treatment is right for you!
Personal Training
One-on-one coaching through custom fitness sessions that are tailored to each individual client's goals, and fitness levels.
Physiotherapy
"Effective physiotherapy is about treating the cause not just symptoms."
Physiotherapists have extensive knowledge of anatomy, exercise physiology and biomechanics which guide a thorough and complete physical assessment. From that information, they will diagnose the injury and devise a customized treatment plan which includes exercise retraining, joint mobilizations, therapeutic massage, ultrasound, muscle stimulation and performance taping.
Our physiotherapists are strong believers in patient education and home exercise to empower the patient to “treat themselves” to restore full mobility while preventing the injury from coming back. Their goal is to provide the necessary and most effective treatment modalities to return patients to their full, pain free potential for the activities that are most meaningful to them.
Some common occupational, sport and recreational injuries include:
Ligamentous knee injuries (ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL)
Rotator cuff tendonitis and strains
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Jumper’s knee (patellar tendinitis)
Patellofemoral syndrome
Ankle sprains
Achilles tendinitis
Plantar fasciitis
Our physiotherapists are passionate about sports medicine and rehabilitation. They have a strong belief in a dynamic, active approach to rehabilitation.
